I found it was really impossible for me to write songs when I couldn't sing.

I'm able to sometimes express things even more articulately on the piano than I am with singing.

I can't sing.

I didn't know why I couldn't sing - all I knew was that it was muscular or mechanical. Then, when I was diagnosed with Parkinson's, I was finally given the reason. I now understand that no one can sing with Parkinson's disease. No matter how hard you try. And in my case, I can't sing a note.

Sometimes I think the choir gets a little ticked with me because I haven't sung in a long time and I can sing.

As I got older, I got Parkinson's disease, so I couldn't sing at all. That's what happened to me. I was singing at my best strength when I developed Parkinson's. I think I've had it for quite a while.

I think I don't sing as hard as I used to sing. I used to kind of hit the accelerator a lot back in my youth, but now it's just being able to control it, and not work it so hard and use more of an emotional or sub textual kind of approach to singing.

First of all, I love singing. I mean, I get out of bed and I sing. I can't help it.
